In the 1.3 update, Was anything done to improve the sequencer at all??...or is this a non talked about sorespot?

There is a new Play button in the MIDI Event Editor and the quantized scene changing in KARMA 2.1, but nothing of the magnitude that has been discussed. This update is primarily about MOD-7 and KARMA 2.1, plus some other smaller handy bits.

The new update looks great!

I didn't see it anywhere, but can you run wavesequences inside of the MOD-7 PCM oscillator?

Also, is there a way to copy the oscillator settings from an HD-1 patch into the MOD-7 PCM oscillator?

Why do you keep saying 1:30 (90 seconds)? Is your OASYS slow?

My string file loads in :30 from the internal HD. quote]

Hello,

I dont believe in:

"Improved handling of of EXs sample data

You can now load or unload EXs expansion samples in OASYS memory without restarting, a great time-saver! EXs-1 and 2 are now loaded into RAM using a new, lossless compression technique. This yields a modest reduction in size: EXs-1 now uses 284 MB instead of 313 MB, and EXs-2 uses 464 MB instead of 503 MB. With 2 GB installed and both EXs loaded, this increases the available user sampling RAM by about 68 MB."

Because these samples must be compressed and then de-compressed,you need for that calculation power,is this really good
for the main performance of the System??Where comes from??
From the P4 CPU or a DSP??Bring that us more latency??

It is interesting if you measure the differents before and after the 1.3 Update in point of:

-Audiospectrum of the samples
-Audiospectrum of combi's and all over System
-latency if you switch Programms
-latency if you press the Keys and the samples/programm start to play
the waveform

It is a bad price if we had some of them troubles for savings of only 68 MB ram.I have found a dissent in the original articel Korg wrotes:

http://www.korg.com/gear/prod_info.asp?a_prod_no=OASYS&category_id=1#mainContent

"Fueling this engine is a staggering 628 MB of uncompressed wave ROM (including the preloaded EXs-1 expansion) that goes beyond CD audio quality."

So why now must the Samples compressed and not 2005?Has the aspect of Soundquality to change in a another direction??Is the Bussystem for
uncompressed Samples too slow?

It loss-less compression. So, I don't know about latency, but the audio spectrum should be identical with no loss in sound quality.

Most synths that use compressed ROM samples use lossy compression, not loss-less, so that's why the line you quoted was promoting the fact that the Oasys sounds are uncompressed.
